Look After Your Agreements

Agreements can be a tricky thing. What happens with most people is that agreements at some area are assumed. Assuming an agreement is a slippery slope, and what we look at within any innate system, any living system is that there's agreement more than by assumption. It's by a cohesive working together, and in the case of human beings it's either spoken or written. Agreements set up the framework for a relationship. An agreement is not necessarily a contract, in…

The Optimisation Journey

It is common to perceive that a new year brings with it hope, vision and possibilities for change. A year ahead that will be better, bigger, happier, more productive etc than the last. You may have made New Year’s resolutions for 2019. Maybe they were around your health, your wealth or your relationships. Maybe they were to have things be better than last year or to get away from the issues that have plagued you up until now. The question…

Thank You

As many people in the world pause to honour the celebration of Christmas it is appropriate to also reflect upon our life and world with the gratitude that it deserves. Too often in our busy life we get immersed in the day-to-day business of living and working. We keep our head down, bum up and nose to the ‘grindstone’ and sometimes forget to smell the roses. Let this Christmas/New Year period be the reminder to give thanks. The other day…

Same Old Same Old

Have you ever wondered why some people keep having the ‘same old same old’ happening to them? It may be a simple as reoccurring thoughts and feelings like “Oh, bother, its Sunday night and tomorrow is Monday again”. OR it may be more complex like the same old stuff coming up in relationships, business or finances. You may even be aware of it happening to you? Well, one thing is for sure - repeating patterns aren’t due to chance. My observation…

Light Up Their Lives

The story of a rich man who was dying comes to mind when I think of this topic. The man called his three sons and said to them. “I wish to leave my fortune intact, so I will set each of you the same task to see which one is the most capable at managing money. In my warehouse there are three large storerooms, all of the same size. Here is a bag of silver each. Your task is to…

When It’s All About You

Every moment of my life, no matter how fleeting it is that I spend with another person is an exchange of my life with them. Even if its buying a loaf of bread from the man at the corner store I am investing an irretrievable unit of time with the person I am with in the moment. Life is a series of moments and all too often we waste our life waiting for the ‘special’ moment to happen or the…

The Time Of Your Life

There is one thing in the physical world that is constant, continuous and countable - That is time. Time ticks along, never to be repeated regardless of who you are, what you say or what you do, time just keeps on creeping forward. Things don’t seem to change much from one second to the next and yet profound change happens when we look at longer time periods. Take a year, a decade or a lifetime and you can really see…

Decision Points

On reading the previous blogs on this topic you will have noticed the ‘trapeze bar’ of things different swinging towards you with your name on it and I am sure that you made a resolve to let go of your current limiting behaviour and grasp and ride this new identity. You probably noticed that your Quadrant preferences got a little uncomfortable when you fired off your ‘not me’ behaviours and based on our last conversation I am sure that you…

Your Life Has Your Name On It

Life can feel like a series of high wire trapeze swings.  Imagine yourself either hanging on to a trapeze bar swinging along or, for a few moments at a time hurtling through space in between the trapeze bars. Most of the time we are tightly hanging on to our trapeze-bar-of-the-moment. These are the behaviours that you call ‘me’. This is your identity. It carries you along at a certain steady rate of swing and you have the feeling that you’re…
